12 Items, 12 Outfits: Spring Edition

Hello, hope your day has been lovely!

Today I am bringing you a special post about how you can take 12 items to create 12 different outfits! 

I have taken much inspiration from Annika at the Pineneedle Collective and also the Delightfully Tacky Blog, for they often post "remixes" showing you how to style clothing in various ways! 

Here's how I'm approaching it:

*I selected 12 items of clothing that I will attempt to style to form 12 outfits.

*I am opting to add various accessories besides shoes to help complete the outfit that are not included in the main 12 items (i.e. purses, belts, scarfs, jewelry, etc.)

Outfit #1

d, e, l ... This is the look that I wore on Easter! It has a cutesy-vintage vibe.

Outfit #2

a, g, k ... This look would be even cuter with some black tights underneath the shorts!

Outfit #3

c, f, l ... This is one of my favorites! Try a collared button-up under a dress for a completely different look! 

Outfit #4

b, g, j ... This is a nice look for a cool spring day! I accessorized with a pendant necklace. 

Outfit #5

b, c, h, k ... Pair your button-up with a sweater and shorts for a classic, preppy pairing.

Outfit #6

k, i, d ... I styled a dressy-casual outfit here perfect for a shopping trip or a party!

Outfit #7

c, e, l ... I personally love this outfit! Here I just tied the button-up over my dress to change things up.

Outfit #8

c, h, j... Just another preppy look! I tucked my button-up into my stripey shorts.

Outfit #9

b, i, j... I tucked a sweater in this floral skirt and paired it with a long pendant necklace.

Outfit #10

a, j, g... This look doesn't exactly "match," but the pieces work somehow! I added a vintage purse to accessorize. The result is a casual day-to-night look.

Outfit #11

f, j ... A paired this vintage floral scarf with my gray dress for a classy look. 

Outfit #12

f, l... I paired a basic belt from Forever 21 with some bracelets and my wedges for an urban-chic outfit. 

It's very cool how you can 'remix' your clothes to expand your wardrobe! Being an aspiring stylist, I found this to be good practice!

That's all for now, hope you enjoyed!

PRINTS 101

So, you want to mix prints? Me too. Here are some tips I pulled together. Happy print - mixing!

{ 1.  LACE & A PRINT}

For us beginner print- mixers, start by experimenting with textures. In the above picture, the lace doesn't stand out as its own print, but it contrasts with the pretty floral skirt. Minimal girly accessories pull the look together. Stick with flats, sandals or wedges for this look.

{ 2.  ONE IN THE SAME}

The look pictured above is a a step up from #1, but still subtle. The trick with patterned outfits is to stick to one color palette. Notice how both pieces contain the color white? Neutral shoes and little accessorizing keep it chic and simple. 

 { 3.  2 PRINTS}
In this outfit, two simple pieces are paired up. They are both navy & white, (color- coordination!) but we never thought stripes and polka dots could go hand in hand! Observe how the circular details on the necklace play with the dotty print of the skirt. If you're still scared- try sticking with black & white pieces!

{ 4.  BOLD DUO} via Flashes of Style
 Hold on: don't be intimidated! Stripes + floral are the ultimate wild & colorful pair-up. Like I mentioned in #2, stick to a loose color palette. See how both the skirt & crop top have black? And the skirt & satchel have yellow? And the list goes on... have fun experimenting!
